Ι love how Frederick was an absolute unit even before becoming a Gear. Wtf did he do in his free time? Lifting the whole laboratory? His voice actor is god tier. Love the ending.
sorry but, Frederick wasn't that buff originaly, he was just tall and fit, but as the series went on, styles changed and so did body propportions... I'm looking at you Faust and Chipp
@@Hell_Soll Oh I know. I miss the old designs pre XRD. In Strive they probably didn't have the budget to create a young and normal Frederick for the flashback or they didn't even bother. I found it funny that they depicted him that way.
@@SERPENTONORTHAM1992 in Xrd they have Ky's old uniform (GG/GGX) and Dizzy's GGX costume rendered and animated. It was frustrating they didn't make them available as alternate costumes.
"I'm not saying it's the smartest move we'll make, but I'm still willing to make it." - That Leo quote literally sums up my entire approach to not just fighting games, but all games in general. Monkey brain for the win!

Sol is still the Guilty Gear as he is still a gear, he just doesn't have the Flame of Corruption. He gave himself the name of the guilty gear after killing his wife, twice. Then he did it again when she was Valentine.
Technically speaking, I-No has the ability of time travel and is responsible for the current timeline by saving Ky from a gear assault during the holy war.
White House down? The story was more like Guilty Gear Solid. With Stealth, Ninja’s, Presidents, Nanomachines, a Metal Gear Potemkin, Quasi philosophical and metaphysical nonsense and even weeaboos.
The title of this is kinda funny to me cuz this literally happened with an anime series called Dot Hack. Where they made a brand new movie and if you got the special edition version it includes a fighting game and that's the only way to actually get that fighting game.
I watched in Japanese with subs, but from what I've heard I feel like the dub actor of chaos really nails the "crazy, unhinged" part of chaos, while the Japanese actor did well at the whole "nonchalant but then suddenly SUPER menacing at times" part of him. Two different approaches that work really well for the character IMO!
I-no and Axl being a couple was sort of expected but still a really nice surprise, although I guess this Axl and this I-no are from different universes so the I-no Axl knew isn’t the one we know and the Axl I-no knew isn’t the one we know, a little confusing but not a problem.
for real. I wonder how people who don’t play online will even unlock stuff, because the cash you get from other single player modes doesn’t seem like a lot.
@@Sune 2k per character in arcade, but only their first completion, survival payout is GARBAGE, your best bet is to grind grind grind online matches and level characters and complete missions. But once missions are done that's out too.
@@sparxskywriter2589 in Xrd even CPUvs give like $200 per win. There's no way to decently grind for unlocks offline in Strive and not even getting a decent amount of previous BGMs in fishing is frustrating
to be honest I went into this story knowing nothing about the characters (since this is my first guilty gear game) but I came out of the story absolutely loving all the characters (and being a simp for ky)
Yeah, I really wanted to know what the hell happened to him. My girl Ram not showing up was also really disappointing. You'd think the story would have at least included all of the base roster.
Normally, I die a little inside when I see people get lore completely wrong. However, your lack of comprehension circled all the way back to sincerely hilarious. "Leo's the first king and Ky's like, the head of security, right?" had me wheezing xD
Started playing this game a lot more and recently finished the story mode and I got to say that it's pretty freaking great. Visuals are nice, dialogue isn't bad, action is great too. It's definitely better than the Street Fighter 5 story mode by a LANDSLIDE.
I thought you were show that at least I-No did Axl a solid and possibly brought his girl from the past to the future so that they can be together again.
Yo, I didn’t know that Daisuke included a movie along with his album
last two albums had nice visual novels
He was even generous enough to include a video game with his album as well.
All the guilty gear xrd story modes is the same.
@@joshuataylor7443 It's a joke, like how Zone of the Enders was jokingly referred to as the free game that came with the MGS2 demo.

He wasnt though he was just fit
Fighting in a war for 100 years then being a bounty hunter for like 20 more made him that buff

The Strive story is basically anime White House Down with a dash of Evangelion.
I mean ... You're not wrong, but ...
I'd say a dash of Code Geass
@@HermanManly
Kinda but that ending is straight up the Third impact
@@sparxskywriter2589 exactly
Which I have seen neither
Wait, you mean there's an entire anime movie AND a fighting game in this rock music album?!
Isn't there also a whole digital artbook (gallery mode) as well?
the last two albums came with cool visual novels too!
I popped off when Anji name dropped Delilah though. If you don’t know, she’s Bedman’s little sister, and I’d be super hyped if she shows up.
That’s the question: *how* did he even know about THAT?!
Thats my biggest question and i hope that will get brought up in the after story. Bedman and Delilah's story are some of the most mysterious thing since they've only been around for xrd
And now baiken does the same...
Welp, she's confirmed to show up at this point.
U leaker
I love how Sol retired and literally became Cid Highwind. While Ky is now the actual Guilty Gear.
Sol is still the Guilty Gear as he is still a gear, he just doesn't have the Flame of Corruption. He gave himself the name of the guilty gear after killing his wife, twice. Then he did it again when she was Valentine.
Technically speaking, I-No has the ability of time travel and is responsible for the current timeline by saving Ky from a gear assault during the holy war.
she is also responsible for dooming him. Alternate timelines are such a mindfuck
trunks got saved in a time travel? the irony
feel like its important to note that shes the one who got him killed there in the first place, entirely on purpose, just to see what would happen
No she went back and got him killed. Then she met That Man and went back in time again to set the timeline back
I-No is the ONE & only REAL protag throughout GGs history :)
I only now realized the Vampire VS Werewolf thing with Nagu and Giovanna lol
Happy Chaos is voiced by Akechi's english VA maybe that's why I liked his character so much lmao
Also zhao from yakuza 7 he's the only reason is put the voices to english
"God I-No. What do we do now!?"
"ahoy!"
ah, of course. May was the ultimate lifeform all along.
Let's just spam dolphins at her.
As long as there are doors, Sol will never stop kicking it.
As it should be
"Projectiles are bullshit"
As a Metera main in GBVS, I'm offended
I WANT THE PRESIDENT AS DLC
YO THE PRESIDENT WOULD MEGATON PUCH THE ENTIRE GG ROSTER
"I thought that was that man. It's not that man, it's that woo man"
Bruh *facepalm*
The amount of people complaining about the dub hurts man. Played the whole thing in dub and those va's rocked it!
Yeah man it’s just angry weebs only way they know how to react when they see a good dub.
uh, those... who?
you mean HAPPY CHAOS va carry the rest of them :p
Woolie Versus did a pretty good series recently explaining the story of Guilty Gear from the beginning, worth a watch
An album and a movie that comes with a game.
Truly Ishiwatari keeps innovating the fighting game genre, as the great, mighty Maxwell Powers once said.

Melty Blood did the same thing once lol
"Let me see if I can put thing together"
Eeee, sure, do try it....
Loved chaos english voice acting.
The Japanese one doesn’t sound bad but.
I don't have a problem with the Japanese dub
I watched in Japanese with subs, but from what I've heard I feel like the dub actor of chaos really nails the "crazy, unhinged" part of chaos, while the Japanese actor did well at the whole "nonchalant but then suddenly SUPER menacing at times" part of him.

@@Arlo5.13 i feel like the eng actor did both of those thing same with the jp actor its just delivery that makes the difference
Guilty Gear is just some kid playing with funky looking anime action figures
Secret sol insta kill summons Abraham Lincoln
The United State's newest weapon of mass destruction : "*Abraham Lincoln*"
I never felt so american than in that scene
Ky was like "you call that God? Pardon me but I don't see Jesus Christ anywhere. There's only one God ma'am and I don't think he wears a hat."
You bought a Daisuke Ishiwatari original soundtrack, which happened to come with an anime movie, which happened to come with a fighting game... yeah.
Chaos kinda reminds me of Terumi but with the finesse of Hazama
Frederick is Mr Badguy
No reaction to Jack-Os Hipsway? That killed me the first time I saw it.
I'm still waiting on wooile to finish the lore before looking at the story
I-no and Axl being a couple was sort of expected but still a really nice surprise, although I guess this Axl and this I-no are from different universes so the I-no Axl knew isn’t the one we know and the Axl I-no knew isn’t the one we know, a little confusing but not a problem.
"Dub is cringe"
Dub has Robbie Daymond so it wins.
Sol vs Doors is the real rivalry of the series
I LOVED the story in Strive. Shame you didnt get the big fat stacks of cash for watching it like oyu do in REV2 tho.

good to see Sol Badguy becomes Sol Guy........ehe

Who DOESN'T Love Nakatas Voice?
"I'll Stroke YOUR big Tree" ... Pff.. xD
Dont Disappoint Her Sol xD
to be honest I went into this story knowing nothing about the characters (since this is my first guilty gear game) but I came out of the story absolutely loving all the characters (and being a simp for ky)
It has that charm about it
i love how no matter what someone thinks of the actual strive story mode, pretty much everyone loves happy chaos and his scenes
4:16 good ol gg grounded footsies
Let’s appreciate sols relationship with doors
I'm getting a feeling that Dickinson won't be a close range fighter since his main 'gimmick' is the alien in that coffin.
Happy Chaos would be the best advocate for the fgc lol
sometimes the comments under your reactions are matching and i loved it
I want to see what will happen next for the story for the Strive DLC. This was so Good.
My favorite Anime movie of 2021🤣
A good time with a big cup of Coffee.
Koefficent for a game reaction maybe give Asura's Wrath a try? Its a pretty big cult classic and the scale of the game is insane
Still moderately pissed for them not showing why Faust is more insane but this story is so cool.
Yeah, I really wanted to know what the hell happened to him. My girl Ram not showing up was also really disappointing. You'd think the story would have at least included all of the base roster.
Season pass 1 includes another story, maybe more side character focused this time
Wait, we get a game AND a movie with Daisuke's latest album???
Normally, I die a little inside when I see people get lore completely wrong.
However, your lack of comprehension circled all the way back to sincerely hilarious. "Leo's the first king and Ky's like, the head of security, right?" had me wheezing xD
The only reason why I prefer the EN dub is because Axl sounds Bri’ish
Edit: and Happy Chaos
I want to have Giovanna’s kids.
however that works
can't wait for him to see the story expansion
I'm bummed out I missed this stream, it had some great commentary. Anyone know where I can watch the whole thing? The twitch VOD went down weeks ago.
I bought an album and it came with a movie and fighting game
I'll watch that movie as soon as i finish listening the album
6.25 and 16.35 . I'm calling this the Gioefficient scream (because Koe does it only for Giovanna )
Its more like an Anime Movie with more aesthetics of some Hollywood movies in the English dub.
Nah man, you bought full Album, and you have free anime movie and fighting game inside
My only disappointment when Ky did the chad move of using Dragon Install, his theme didn't play.
Movie? Damn, the thing is an entire Anime series.
They made an anime for the fishing game poggers
I started the story to this waiting to fight, feel asleep on it, and 2 hours later the movie is still playing like wtf
GG puts more value in its little finger than most games ever put in
This guy is underrated
The president is literally that old man Inuyashiki.
I actually want the presidents as dlc I would main him IMMEDIATELY
My favorite part was when the story let me play
😀
Bro predicted golddick
Aprile fools character in the beginning
Started playing this game a lot more and recently finished the story mode and I got to say that it's pretty freaking great. Visuals are nice, dialogue isn't bad, action is great too.
It's definitely better than the Street Fighter 5 story mode by a LANDSLIDE.
I went in expecting nothing of the story mode, and boy, oh boy, did I have a great surprise
5:48 dude willed it into existence
Maaan he said he's never played the series but he knows all the names I think I got played
Yes gods one true weakness, a gun
I have never been this early my goodness
Wasn't it supposed to be expensive Music Album with Free Anime and FIghting Game?
When is see Leo all i think is Lu bu ( in English and Japanese)
Story mode in fighting game has evolved
would you play story mode?
me: yes, i want to play a ga-
arcsys: no, play in the video-sense, not play a game
I thought you were show that at least I-No did Axl a solid and possibly brought his girl from the past to the future so that they can be together again.
Walking animation 10/10
didn't know they put Nux Taku in a video game
17:00
That feel
I-no comes in que up "my bitch bad"
Well ay chungus dlc now
22:15 coldest moment in all of strive
damn koe doesnt know that i-no was the main villain in x2
This man actually predicted Goldlewis for Strive as Chang. Except if Chang was actually busted af
Olympus has Fallen.
23:53 the ultimate 😯 face
I prefer Happy Chaos in Dub. And Dub Sol is fine, though inferior to Sub Sol.
Hard to say no to Alucard from Hellsing, Kirei Kotomine from FATE and The Count of Monte Cristo
The movie came with the album and the game is free
Now that hes not a gear anymore the next game is just gonna be called guilty boy
Honestly its not something you normally think of but why didnt blizzard do this for the campaign of overwatch?
don't know the wife is are coming
Ayo could someone send me the link to the full stream for this I looked for it everywhere on his twitch and didn't find it
this is not a common videogame.
this is a video and a game.
only kojima did that
Hope Sol didn’t say Yorokobe
im guessing his full stream watching the story was deleted?
I have watched it 3 times
Abraham Lincoln, a weapon to surpass metal gear...
